Description
A bookmark inside guarded and gated La Cantera at Team Ranch, the thoughtfully updated home at 5108 Cantera Way offers a modern interpretation of traditional architecture, exceptional attention to detail, and a smart, flexible floorplan, all within easy reach of Downtown Fort Worth, football games at TCU, and exemplary private and public schools. With five bedrooms, five and ½ bathrooms and more than 6,700 square feet of luxurious, well-crafted living space, this artfully curated home is the perfect place to make memories that will last through generations. Showcasing an impressive turret that creates a warm and welcoming entry hall, the first glimpse reveals a two-story living room filled with light courtesy of the floor to ceiling windows that reveal a stunning pool, spa and landscaped greenspace. Beyond the dining room detailed with wood trim and hand-hewn beams lies a convenient butler’s pantry and chef-ready kitchen featuring new countertops on the island and a new backsplash as well as a refrigerator/freezer, and built-ins with desk--all with access to the patio for easy outdoor entertaining. Within easy reach and ready for any celebration is a walk-in, refrigerated wine cellar that holds 576 bottles and has additional storage for cased beverages, extra barware and more. Directly beyond the kitchen lies an in-law, au pair, or guest suite and bath that opens to the patio and can also be configured as a pool bath. The first floor includes a truly enviable primary retreat with a fabulous sitting area that opens to outdoor living. The luxurious spa bath features a freestanding tub highlighted by a wall of mini-stacked quartzite, double sinks and vanity, steam shower and two custom closets that are an organizer’s dream with pull down rods, built-in drawers, and plenty of room for hanging clothing and displaying prized accessories. The larger closet also includes a vault/safe room built for storing valuables and constructed with concrete and rebar reinforcement. A handsome study with bookcases also opens to the primary sitting room. A hall bath, mud room and laundry complete the first floor. A sweeping staircase leads to a second-story catwalk and landing area large enough to double as a game/billiards room. It includes a wet bar/mini kitchen and opens to a fully integrated media room and three comfortable, ensuite bedrooms with updated bathrooms and custom closets. And to add a special surprise to the multi-purpose layout, the builder, Tim Windmiller, tucked a hidden staircase off the media room, leading to a third level that includes another play/game room and a study with two built-in desks. The thoughtful design of the ¾ acre plot includes an electric gate to access the driveway and three-car garage with custom storage, playhouse and cross fencing to keep pets and young ones safe. The resort-style pool and spa, Carvestone deck, and covered outdoor kitchen and dining area are outlined with mature foliage for privacy, creating the perfect place to enjoy year-round entertaining. And with a side yard large enough to host a game of touch-football on Thanksgiving morning, this home truly is THE gathering place for friends, family, and fun.
